I'm back......

Don't panic. All is well. :)

So....... I've been trying to be more pro-active w3ith my posts. SUnday is my day off so I am going to have a new Blog post every Sunday, rain or shine. Sort of like the U.S.P.S. \

I asked my daughter "What color should I paint my nails today?" Her response "I don't know." I said "Just pick a color." She said "Blue." Blue it is.

I'm really into the nail stamping right now . It's such an awesome concept. Artsy nails that anyone can do. Even if you aren't ambidextrous.  I have a bunch of nail stamping polish and stamping plates. The designs are never the same. Who'd of thought?



Pay no attention to the bottles of nail polish  magically suspended on the desk.

I started with the magical China Glaze Bahamian Escape. This it two coats you see on my last three fingers. This is a pretty mid-tone blue with a cream finish.

If you happen to notice my mistakes, be nice. I find it a waste of time to clean up after every step. Nail stamping is messy. Since I'm allergic to latex, that fancy paint on barrier is out of the question. Please bare with me.



After the China Glaze is dry, I stamped the nails using Mundo de Unas Light Gold. I stamped over that with Mundo de Unas Holland blue.

I finished with Sally Hansen Insta-Dri Top Coat. Tada. Blue nails. Just for you Bunny.  Bunny is my daughter's nickname. I call my other daughter Kitty. She like to meow outside my window and scare the crap out of me.








Here's some pictures of my supplies.....


From left to right: China Glaze Bahamian Blue, Mundo de Unas Light gold, Mundo de Unas Holland Blue.



I used Pueen stamping plate #80 first with the Light Gold. I stamped over that with the #77 plate and the  Holland Blue . I bought this set at Amazon. Here is the link.  http://www.amazon.com/PUEEN-Collection-24B-L-STAMPING-BUFFET/dp/B00P8HQZUO?ie=UTF8&psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o07_s00

The China Glaze you can buy just about anywhere. Ebay is a great place to shop if you want a specific color that you cant find in the store. The stamping polish I bought from a nail polish site that doesn't sell it any more. You can find it on the Mundo de Unas website. The link: http://www.mundodeunas.com/


I hope you like this look.

Thanks for stopping by.

Wishing you the very best Holiday season

Yes, I know it's been two months since my last post. My health issues have carried over for two months and I have been exhausted. I was finally feeling better and I lost someone very dear to me. When I was born. I was blessed with amazing parents, my Nana and my Aunt Wanda.  Wanda has always treated me like her own. I spent every minute of my childhood that I could at Wanda and Nana's house. It was home to me. My grandmother taught me how to iron, cook and sew among other things. I lost her when I was 11. Both parents passed away in 2003. Wanda was always there for me. She was like a second mom to me. She helped me with anything she could.  She babysat my six kids when I was a single parent going to school. She treated my kids like they were her own. She was an amazing woman. She worked at Grand Coulee Dam when it was being built, she traveled and she truly loved life. She was a Christian and she devoted her life to Jesus Christ. Back in July when I had surgery on my foo...

Hell's bells!!!!

Oops.... I didn't realize it had been two weeks since my last post. Since I apparently live in the new Arctic Circle, all I've had time to do is stay warm. My daughter has missed five days of school due to the weather. That's unheard of where I'm from. When I was in High School, I can't remember ever having a show day.  Maybe that was before Global Warming.  Who coul d tell. And is Global warming really a thing? Or is it something the Government made up to scare the Hell out of normal people like myself?  On that note....away we go.   This is the look I came up with for New Year's Eve. Did I go out? Nope. Did I have a Gourmet dinner party for 20 at  my home? Again, nope. I never do  things like have dinner parties. I just thought it was New Year's Eve-ish looking. Yes I know that isn't correct Grammar. And no, I don't care. If people can say "A'ight or turnt." I can say  Eve-ish. Get with the program teachers. Start teaching c...

A woman is helpless only when her nail polish is drying......

My daughter gave me a sign that says just that as a gift. She is so right. I can cook anything I choose, change the oil in a car, change a tire and a hundred other things I learned along the way. Mess with me when my polish is drying, you are going to be in trouble. \ Seriously. Painting nail is an art, even if you are putting on one color. It's tricky,it takes practice and its frustrating as Hell if you have to start over. Be patient. Let a woman get her nails dry and everything is awesome.  Fortunately my kids aren't little anymore and then fend for themselves most of the time. Other times it's like this "Mom, Mooooom, I've cut my carotid artery! I'm bleeding!!"  Yes dear, I'll be right there. Let my nail polish dry. Seriously, it's never that severe. Funny though. On with the polish at hand.... I really like the Pro-Fx Nail Concealer. It makes a nice smooth base to work with. I use one coat. It dries fast which is a bonus. Who really...
